Fellow listers:

I looked at a '65 Sprite yesterday - a project type car.  One of the things
I know one should look for is sagging.  I understand a test for that on
half elliptic sprung cars is to look for the door gap to be closed at the
top and open at the bottom.  On this car, I saw this on the driver's side
door, but the passenger's side door fit very well all the way around.  The
driver's side door also stuck out about 1/4" at the rear bottom.  

Is this a sign that the car is sagging or just that the driver's side
rocker is worse than the passenger's side or something else?

As always, all thoughts are appreciated.
